Half Day Course | POWA

Learn how to help yourself and others at the time of death.

During this half day course, Gen Jampel will introduce us to the Buddhist practice of POWA in a way that we will come to understand it and gain confidence to engage in it.

Alhough we know that death is a very important moment of our life, we’re often unprepared and don’t really know what to do when it comes.

Showing us this method to protect ourself and others from taking an unfortunate rebirth and enabling the purest rebirth possible – a life beyond suffering, is one of Buddha’s greatest kindness.

Subjects on this course will include:

• How we can practically help those who have recently passed away
• How we can practically help those who are dying
• Commentary to the practice of POWA
• Illucidate the deep meaning of the practice of POWA through guided meditations in conjunction with the actual practice of POWA
